'FIFA 18 debuts at No1 and of the 5 versions launched the PS4/Xbox One editions account for 97% of sales units PS4 alone accounts for 60% (up from 53% last year), helped in part by a varied selection of official FIFA 18 hard bundles. The Switch version is a first for EA and Nintendo and the PS3/360 versions become legacy editions. Activisions Destiny 2 drops to No2 after 3 weeks at the top. Microsofts Forza Horizon 3 climbs 6 places to No3 driven by many hardware/software bundles that also offer FIFA 18. 2K/Take 2 drop one place to No4 with NBA 2K18 whilst Rockstar/Take 2 move up one place to No5 with GTA V. Bandai Namco debuted at No2 last week with Project Cars 2 and this week fall to No7. Microsofts Halo 5: Guardians re-enters the chart at No11 thanks to some heavy hardware/software bundling linked to FIFA. The only other new release to enter the Top 40 this week is NIS Americas PS4/Vita Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony at No36.
Electronic Arts has taken the No.1 spot in the UK charts with this year's FIFA, with PlayStation 4 taking the majority of its sales.
The PS4 edition accounted for 60% of all FIFA 18 copies sold - up from its 53% share of FIFA 17's launch. Gfk Chart-Track notes that this was partly assisted by the presence of official bundles on retail shelves.
Xbox One followed with more than a third of all sales. In fact, when combined the two consoles accounted for 97% of all FIFA 18 units shifted.
GfK Chart-Track observes that FIFA's launch sales were down by 25% year-on-year, and notes that this may be attributed to the rise of digital sales through the PlayStation and Xbox stores. Switch's digital store has also proved to be popular, so its sales of FIFA may be higher than the physical charts indicate.
It's also worth noting that FIFA 18 came out on Friday last week, while historically the series has always launched on a Tuesday. The lack of other major new releases meant its claim for the No.1 spot was in little danger, but it may also account for the 25% drop in sales given that it had four fewer days on shelves.
